Automation made simple

With state-of-art technology, our technicians can monitor machining performance in real time, predict potential problems and improve uptime, and tightly integrate resources and business processes.


Investing in MULTUS B series 550 by Okuma, the first of its kind in Norway, is a contribution to the Finnøy 2.0 industry strategy aimed at reducing costs, improving market efficiency and linking together value chains at sea and on land. The MULTUS B550 lathe has a broad scope of machining functions. Equipped with a B-axis head, it is the ultimate fusion of turn-mill operations, with lathe, vertical, or horizontal machining center and material-handling operations. Meaning that numerous processes can take place within one multitasking machine tool.

Highlighted specifcations:

  • Big bore spindle 12-2,400min- 1 37/30kW

  • Bore dia. 130 mm with F2511 cylinder only, for ain i/o F2596 with STD spindle

  • Hollow chuck B24A11 and draw tube, with STD cylinder

  • Built-in tailstock

  • Hinge type chip conveyor H side disposal, for 3000 incl. machine linked control and Intermittent feed for conveyor

Intelligent in-house software supports decisions across functions, improve forecast accuracy, and build profit-optimized production plans. Steering towards a digital production - while meeting environmental goals without compromising on other business goals, results in more efficient and cost-effective products and services for clients. By connecting craftsmanships with ERP systems, it provides Finnøy Gear & Propeller with a level of visibility and control out of the ordinary.

The Finnøy 2.0 industry strategy will without doubt change our workforce - in a positive manner. A digitally augmented workforce is freed up to use their heads instead of their muscles only. In the 1980s, Finnøy only had a handful of CNC-programmers, and today the number of programmers is double-digit. Although some tasks will be taken over by robots, even more tasks are being created to run a digitally advanced factory. Johan Karlsson Finnøy, Senior CAD-CAM Application Engineer, states:

- It's not repetitive work that leads to innovation – it's our ideas and creative thinking.
